#snail eggs! 🐌 Found a cluster, tucked down the #snail eggs! 🐌 Found a cluster, tucked down the inside of a raised bed, all carefully removed and fed to the girls 🐔 who loved the mini treats! So look out for these white spheres in compost as you can see from second photo they are small and easily missed, check raised beds especially older ones with rotting wood and under covers etc . . . . #chickens #snails #slugs #chickensinthegarden #organicgardening #organicgardener #ediblegarden #allotmentuk
Not so pleased - sawfly larvae on my gooseberry bu Not so pleased - sawfly larvae on my gooseberry bushes, doing considerable foliage damage. Removed loads. The defoliation isn't the main concern as leaves are due to drop, but it's the overwintering pupa under the bushes that will emerge next spring ... Not much that can be done organically, but I will run some chickens or ducks through them to hope they can find and eat the pupae. . . . . #organicgardening #sawfly #caterpillar #gardenpests #fruitbush #gooseberrypatch #ediblegarden #organicgrowing #allotmentuk #allotments #softfruit #fruitcage #growtoeat #gyo #organicallotment

French marigolds in the #polytunnel, selfseeded, I French marigolds in the #polytunnel, selfseeded, I let them grow under and around the 🍅 to help repel #whiteflies. By this time of year they are bushy plants, full of flowers and bring lots of colour. So easy, just let the seed heads ripen on the plants and when you pull them up, scatter seeds and next year you have loads of plants, you just have to be able to recognise the seedlings! . . . . #frenchmarigold #tagetes #tomatoes #growveggies #naturalpredator #companionplanting #organicgardening #polytunnellife #allotmentuk #ediblegarden #selfsufficiency #flowersofinstagram #GYO #growtoeat #growtomatoes #allotments

Years ago I saw some #keyhole beds in Kenya and th Years ago I saw some #keyhole beds in Kenya and thought they were a brilliant idea, a compost bin + growing space enabling families to grow their own vegetables while recycling their green waste and grey water. It's taken me a while but now I am trialling my own take on the keyhole bed The squash are loving it.

A quick apple harvest yesterday before the winds a A quick apple harvest yesterday before the winds arrived. Our small 25 tree #orchard in the #walledgarden has had a bumper year, most trees laden with apples, branches snapping under weight. We cleared a few of the trees which were rediculously early by about 3 weeks. Wasps were feasting on the sweetest eaters. This is just a third of what I have harvested this week. All in chiller to awaiting juicing. windfalls gave made the #pigs and #geese very happy nothing goes to waste! #apples #appleharvest #growapples #growfruit #selfsufficiency #selfsufficient #organicallygrown #organicgardening #climatechangegarden #climatechange #potager #ediblegarden #allotmentgarden #gardenorchard

#12courgetteday busy harvesting between rain showe #12courgetteday busy harvesting between rain showers, three trays of produce incl a good crop of #chickpeas that I'll use fresh as #edamame plus more tomatoes, peppers, marrows, overgrown gherkins, #aubergine, #frenchbeans, #runnerbeans, #onions, and not forgetting #plums so now have to do something with it all ... Can you pickle sliced gherkin rather than whole ones?

They sit on the power lines watching and take it in turns to feed on the abundance of #elderberries in the hedgerow which seem to be plentiful this year.

Spent a wonderful hour on the plot just watching, Spent a wonderful hour on the plot just watching, it was so busy with insects. We focus on bees when thinking #pollinators but as this short video shows flies are just as important. The flowers of this #moroccanmint were attracting loads of flies of all types. #organicgardening #organicfarm #organicgarden #pollinators #diptera #flies #pollination #mintflowers #mint #mintplant #allotmentuk #vegetablegarden #ediblegarden #allotment #allotmentgarden #biodiversity
Pretty flowers and red stems of the #malabarspinac Pretty flowers and red stems of the #malabarspinach, climbing up a teepee, dual purpose ornamental and culinary, not a proper spinach but the shiny succulent leaves used in the same way. Takes a while to get going but then it romps away. Tropical so not frost hardy.
